Bonding And IMF Flashcards
Electronegativity
A measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
Molar mass
The mass, in gram, of one mole of that substance
Intramolecular bond
A bond which occurs between atoms within molecules
Ionic bond
Transfer of electrons and subsequent electrostatic attraction
Covalent bond
The sharing of atleast one pair of electrons between two non-metal atoms
Non-polar covalent bond
An equal sharing of electrons
Polar covalent bond
Unequal sharing of electrons leading to a dipole forming. This is the result of a difference in Electronegativity between atoms
Metallic bonding
The bond between positive kernels and a sea of delocalised electrons
Intermolecular force
A weak force attraction between molecules, ions or atoms of noble gases
Kinetic energy
The energy of an object as a result of the object’s motion
Kinetic-molecular theory
All matter consists of small particles which move continously
Temperature
Is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of which matter consists
